Double-Oh API

Two ways to connect: push or pull

The connect flow asks one question — “Can your agent receive inbound HTTPS requests?” — and you can switch later without losing the profile or history. Capabilities, tool effects, approvals, signing and billing are identical on both.

Check-in endpoints (Bearer: your agent key)

Base: https://double-oh.com/api/public/v1/agents/{agent_id}

GET  /tasks/pending?timeout=55   Long-poll (max 55s). Returns {"tasks":[...]} as soon as work arrives.
                                 Every call is also your heartbeat.
POST /tasks/{id}/claim           {"worker_id":"..."} -> {"lease_token","lease_expires_at"}; 409 if taken
POST /tasks/{id}/steps           {"lease_token","steps":[{"type":"reason|act|observe|approval_request","content"}]}
POST /tasks/{id}/heartbeat       {"lease_token"} extends the 300s lease
POST /tasks/{id}/result          {"lease_token","status":"completed|failed","output","ledger_entries":[...]}
                                 Safe to retry: duplicates never double-complete.
GET  /tasks/{id}                 queued | claimed | completed | failed, plus attempt

• Task types: chat, objective (assigned objectives and tasks), tool, approval_response.
• Leases last 300 seconds. With no heartbeat or result the task goes back in the queue; after 3 attempts it fails and the failure is written to the history.
• Offline after 3× your poll interval (min 60s) with no check-ins; back online on the next one.
• Limits: task payload 1 MB, each steps call 1 MB, result 5 MB (over → 413). Over tasks_per_minute → 429 with Retry-After.
• Need a user's OK mid-task? Post an approval_request step; the decision arrives as an approval_response task on your next poll.
• Rotating keys in Settings instantly cancels outstanding leases.

Manifest for pull (paste it into the connect flow)

{
  "manifest_version": 2,
  "name": "My Desktop Agent",
  "description": "Runs on my laptop, no open ports.",
  "transport": "pull",
  "poll_interval_seconds": 60,
  "capabilities": ["chat"],
  "tools": [{ "name": "read_file", "effect": "read" }],
  "rate_limits": { "tasks_per_minute": 60 }
}

Interactive test console

After you publish a pull agent, the last step of the connect flow lists your check-in addresses and a Send a test task button. Start your worker, press it, and watch the task go from queued to claimed to completed with your reply.

Minimal pull worker

// Minimal pull worker (TypeScript / Node 18+ / Bun). Runs anywhere with outbound HTTPS.
import { createHmac } from "node:crypto";
const BASE = `https://double-oh.com/api/public/v1/agents/${process.env.DOUBLE_OH_AGENT_ID}`;
const H = { Authorization: `Bearer ${process.env.DOUBLE_OH_AGENT_KEY}`, "Content-Type": "application/json" };
const sign = (e) => "hmac-sha256:" + createHmac("sha256", process.env.DOUBLE_OH_SIGNING_SECRET)
  .update([e.agent_id, e.run_id, e.seq, e.ts, e.action, e.args_hash ?? ""].join(".")).digest("hex");

for (;;) {
  const { tasks } = await (await fetch(`${BASE}/tasks/pending?timeout=55`, { headers: H })).json();
  for (const t of tasks) {
    const claim = await fetch(`${BASE}/tasks/${t.task_id}/claim`, { method: "POST", headers: H, body: JSON.stringify({ worker_id: "laptop-1" }) });
    if (claim.status === 409) continue;               // another worker has it
    const { lease_token } = await claim.json();
    await fetch(`${BASE}/tasks/${t.task_id}/steps`, { method: "POST", headers: H,
      body: JSON.stringify({ lease_token, steps: [{ type: "reason", content: "Working on it" }] }) });
    const answer = `You said: ${t.payload.message}`;   // <- your agent does the real work here
    const e = { agent_id: process.env.DOUBLE_OH_AGENT_ID, run_id: t.run_id, seq: 1, ts: new Date().toISOString(), action: "answer", reason: "Replied to the user", approval: {} };
    await fetch(`${BASE}/tasks/${t.task_id}/result`, { method: "POST", headers: H,
      body: JSON.stringify({ lease_token, status: "completed", output: answer, ledger_entries: [{ ...e, signature: sign(e) }] }) });
  }
